White supremacists terrorised Black and Indigenous people for 300 years, and when that terror was finally made illegal, white rebel groups rose up to further terrorise Black and Indigenous people for another 100 years, and while zero reparations were paid to remedy that 400 years of terror, now to simply acknowledge that 400 year terror is called the "woke virus". White privilege is when the cancer of white supremacy is to be ignored—but recalling that history is called "a virus".

Under the influence of great fear, almost everybody becomes superstitious. Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity towards those who are not regarded as members of the herd. Fear generates impulses of cruelty, and therefore promotes such superstitious beliefs as seem to justify cruelty. Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.
